I'm not sure, but I don't think the Mach kernel will be very happy on
a machine without an MMU.

Does anyone have a recommendation for what free kernel I could run on
my Amiga 1000 (a 68000 machine without an MMU), so I could use it at
least as on X terminal for my 32532 machine, and perhaps other things
?  Perhaps the X kernel, does it need an MMU ?  Some kind of a network
file system would also be needed so I wouldn't have to keep X fonts
etc. on the poor amiga's floppy drives.

I know I could run Minix on it, but's that's not free.
